New boyfriend 'clouded by Piper's fame'

Billie Piper's new boyfriend may have been attracted by her fame, suggests a friend.Laurence Fox left his ex-partner, whom he had been with for six years, to be with the actress just before Christmas. She had just split up with lawyer Amadu Sowe after a two-year relationship.The pair are said to be getting along well and have been spotted out together, but a friend of Fox has said he was shocked by his snap decision to leave his ex, Martha Swann. "It was so completely out of the blue," one told the Mail on Sunday. "One minute he was sharing a flat with Martha, seemingly happily, and the next minute he announced he wanted to split and promptly moved out."It is quite shocking that someone would leave a partner who they have spent years with for someone they have only known for a few months. It is fair to wander if his decision is clouded somewhat by Billie's fame."Another source also suggested Piper's fame may have been an added incentive for Fox. "Fox is a lovely, very talented and fun-loving bloke," he commented. "But there has always been a very steely determination to achieve success lying beneath the surface."
